Acts 10:34-43

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Gentiles Hear the Good News

³⁴ Then Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality,^{(A) 35} but in every people anyone who fears him and practices righteousness^[a] is acceptable to him.^{(B) 36} You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all.^{(C) 37} That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: ³⁸ how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.^{(D) 39} We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree,^{(E) 40} but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear,^{(F) 41} not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.^{(G) 42} He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead.^{(H) 43} All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”^(I)
